Send email from SPECIFIC account only

[LadyDungeness]

I'm using Outlook 2002. I have three accounts:
1. (e-mail address removed) -- used for personal emails
2. (e-mail address removed) -- used for business emails
3. (e-mail address removed) -- still used for school emails (will be phased
out)

Accounts 1 & 2 use the same ISP. They are both alias addresses for
<[email protected]>. Account 3 is an IMAP account from a
different ISP.

I have rules to sort mail to separate folders: MYNAME folder and
MY.FULL.NAME folder. They work.

What I want is this: I want to work from the MYNAME folder, create a
new email, and have it sent from the MYNAME email address, by default.
When I am working from the MY.FULL.NAME folder, I want new emails to
be sent, by default, from the MY.FULL.NAME account.

Presently, ALL emails, for all three accounts, default to being sent
from the MY.FULL.NAME email address. I have to go to the top of each
email message and click "accounts" and change the "send from email
account". I don't like this -- I forget to do it.

How can I get Outlook 2002 to use the SEND FROM email address that
belongs to the SPECIFIC folder I am working from?

Not possible. You will need to use the account dropdown button to send using a specific account.

Outlook 2003 and 2007 both allow you to use signatures to force the sending account, however.

Not possible? Well that's dumb. Can't even make a form to control
which account is on the FROM line, either. Dumber.

The From line has no bearing whatsoever on your message unless using Exchange.
